The Presbytery of Missouri River Valley
is passionate about mission and developing
missional congregations and disciples!
Vision Statement:
Joining together in God’s mission; encountering
Jesus Christ in covenant partnerships.
Mission Statement:
Serving congregations and individual
members to
be missional by:
1.
Helping every disciple to have a calling in
mission as Incarnational Witnesses.
2.
Engaging and coordinating mission opportunities.
a.
Resourcing and collaborating with congregations
and within the Presbytery.
Core Values:
1.
Receptive to the Spirit, guided by prayer, we humbly
engage in and
encourage partnerships locally,
nationally and internationally within the
context of the host’s ministry.
2.
The global Body of Christ benefits from the mutual
support,
encouragement and sharing of
gifts that occurs when we participate in
mission through collaborative
efforts in our community and around the
world.
3.
We understand that mission is not just what we do, or who
we are; it is
how we live and that we are
called to be involved in works of compassion,
justice and proclamation.
4. Mission
involves being sent out and returning home and as such it is
about having qualitative
transformational experiences, which help us
grow as disciples and as
missional people at home and abroad.
5. Sharing
our stories with others is an important aspect of mission as it
helps encourage others to
answer our common call.
6. The
Mission Committee seeks to fulfill the Presbytery’s mission priorities
as intentional stewards of the
resources with which our Presbytery has
been blessed.
